cultural customs can make it difficult for migrants to feel as though they belong within a certain group. Unfortunately this is a position in which many migrants to Australia find themselves‚ struggling to feel included and comfortable with their changing identities. However while these differences may make it harder to belong to one group‚ they can also strengthen the bonds within another.

Not belonging often goes hand in hand with feelings of despair‚ unease and uncertainty. “Migrant Hostel” demonstrates this feeling of angst and instability when the migrants are placed in an uninviting environment where fear of immigrants is predominant. The migrants’ insecurity and confusion is displayed through the rhetorical ‘who would be coming next’ in the first stanza.

Bruce Dawe’s poem‚ Migrants‚ portrays a long quest from the perception of a migrant group. The particular group is acknowledged as “they” as they were met with indifferences from the locals. “They” reacted to this treatment with surprise and confusion which is made evident in the line‚ “indifference surprised them..” which creates a sense of ambiguity and lack of identity. This mystified poem depicts feelings of ignorance as well as disinterest as “they” are treated with a lack of concern.
